I forge immortality with spiritual treasures.

Chapter 139 Past and Present

"Third rank?"

When the lightning flashed in Jianxuan's eyes, he suddenly felt a little lost.

Having successfully entered the gate, he had regained some confidence, but unexpectedly, in a short period of time, the person in front of him broke through two more levels and comprehended the 'Triple Tower'.

After all, he was not very old, and had been practicing in the mountains since childhood.

Jianxuan couldn't help but look at his master, but Qingyuanzi seemed oblivious. Watching Yingchan unleash his thunder magic, he even clapped his hands and laughed, "Our sect is indeed blessed with long-lasting influence. In such a short time, another outstanding person has emerged."

"That's good, that's good."

Jianxuan suddenly remembered that his master always said that there were countless talents in the sect, and no matter how amazing a person was, there were always people in the sect who could rival them, so he was not to be arrogant or complacent.

Although Jianxuan had believed in it in the past, he always felt that his master did not need to give him repeated advice.

I never expected that actually meeting such a cultivation prodigy would be such a bitter experience.

Lou Shenxiao's eyes flashed with surprise upon seeing this scene.

The Twelve-Story Method represents a leap forward with each level, and the changes after reaching the eighth and ninth stories are even more earth-shattering.

Naturally, the further one progresses, the more profound the methods become. The complexity of the methods' operation and changes is like the emergence of thunder, and even a Golden Core cultivator may not be able to comprehend them perfectly.

He considered the realm of the Three-Tiered Tower to be shallow, but for a Xuan Guang cultivator, it was already worthy of praise.

Moreover, Ying Chan's current achievements are merely the result of three hours of work...

Of course, Lou Shenxiao knew that this was also due to his accumulated experience. Ying Chan was able to reach the third level in a short period of time, and he might be able to advance further soon. However, to reach the fifth or sixth level, he would probably have to work even harder.

From there on, we'll have to observe their cultivation level and how well they've progressed in their lightning magic.

Even so, it is evident that he possesses extraordinary insight.

Lou Shenxiao thought to himself that it was a pity, but when he saw Ying Chan exhale lightly, turn around, and bow with a calm demeanor, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Good! At least it suits my taste."

He raised his hand and pointed, a beam of purple light flying into Ying Chan's hand. "The surprise I promised you, keep it safe!"

Ying Chanchao glanced at his hand and saw that it was a primordial pebble.

Although this item is precious, every disciple of Xuandu has one, so it's not a big surprise. Clearly, there's more to it than meets the eye.

However, Ying Chan couldn't examine it at the moment, so he quickly put away the Primordial Stone, bowed, and said, "Thank you for the reward, Uncle-Master."

Lou Shenxiao waved his hand and said no more, but turned to Qingyuanzi and said, "I really enjoyed myself today."

He glanced at Xiao Daojianxuan again and said, "Your disciple is not bad. After returning to the Immortal Abode, he can come and listen to my lectures."

Qingyuanzi smiled slightly and called out, "Disciple, why don't you thank your master?"

Xiao Dao then came to his senses, stood up and bowed.

After taking his seat, he glanced at Ying Chan again, a sudden surge of excitement rising within him: "So what if I'm a cultivation prodigy? I have my master to impart the Dharma and my uncle to teach me; I can certainly strive to catch up..."

He secretly decided to follow Yingchan's example and diligently cultivate himself.

Ying Chan was completely unaware of this; he simply sat down again and began to taste the wine in his cup.

Unfortunately, Lou Shenxiao's interest had waned, and he soon decided to leave.

Ying Chan had come with him, so naturally he should also take his leave with him.

Before leaving, Qingyuanzi gave him a brief moment to catch up with Cangyuanzi.

However, although the man and the ape knew each other, they didn't have much of a past to talk about. Ying Chan only said that he would tell Li Xuanying about this matter so that they would know each other's recent situation.

Upon hearing this, the old ape's face broke into a deep, wrinkled smile.

Although he had already broken through his transverse bones, he remained very taciturn. He produced two gourds from who-knows-where and handed them to Ying Chan as gifts for him and Li Xuanying. Ying Chan did not refuse, but instead took out many elixirs suitable for cultivation by those of different kinds to reciprocate.

These pills were actually a gift he had specially prepared to repay Bai Zhi's kindness, but using them here was quite appropriate.

After that, the man and the ape did not talk for long. Ying Chan returned to Lou Shenxiao's side, and he was not impatient. He simply asked, "Can you return to the Immortal Abode?"

Ying Chan replied, "That's right."

"Then I'll see you off."

Before Lou Shenxiao finished speaking, a flash of purple light appeared in the sky, and the thunderbird landed.

As Lou Shenxiao rode the thunderbird and disappeared into the sky, Ying Chan, feeling the effects of wine, suddenly realized that today was a dream and couldn't help but look back.

The waning moon shone brightly; it was already late at night.

Ying Chan suddenly felt that the stars on Shoujing Mountain had become dazzling, their light shining directly into the mountain like a curtain, with countless stars flowing into the mountainside along the curtain.

He suddenly remembered that when he first entered the Da Wan Mountain, he had heard from Cai Que'er that there was a powerful cultivator who could breathe out starlight and moonlight at night, and could sometimes be seen from several mountains away.

I wonder if it's similar to this scene? Or is it the same scene?

It should be explained but cannot be known.

After returning to the Immortal Abode, Lou Shenxiao drifted away, leaving Ying Chan to return to Zhaoguang Mountain alone from Jietian Peak.

A few days later, I returned to Hanxu Temple.

Ying Chan did not rush back to his meditation room to cultivate. Instead, he sat down in the flying pavilion and reviewed what he had learned that day.

He first took out the gourd that the old ape had given him, uncorked it, and immediately smelled the aroma of wine.

Ying Chan's heart stirred, and he took a small bite, and was pleasantly surprised.

It turned out that the gourd contained the 'Hundred Fruit Wine,' exactly the same as the one served at the banquet!
Although this gourd is not a magical artifact for storing objects, it is filled to the brim, making it not only of extraordinary value but also imbued with deep sentiment.

Although Ying Chan also took out the best pills to give to the old ape, they were nothing compared to this gourd of spirit wine.

"Brother Ape, Brother Ape..."

Ying Chan never expected that, after two years, he would be invited to drink by the old ape again.

On a whim, he took out a small white porcelain cup, about the size of a thumb, and filled it to the brim.

The rest was carefully stored away, to be shared with Li Xuanying after the gourd was brought to him...

Ying Chan savored the flavors, refining the spiritual energy within his body, and his intoxication gradually deepened.

Only then did he take out the Primordial Stone that Lou Shenxiao had given him.

The magical energy within had been withdrawn by Lou Shenxiao, so Ying Chan was still able to open the stone and probe it with his thoughts, and couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.

As soon as Ying Chan had a thought, two objects appeared in his hand.

One piece of white jade, one piece of purple jade.

Ying Chan examined the white jade closely and discovered that it contained characters.

The characters were extremely small, like the lines on a fingertip, hidden within the jade, flowing and changing, making it difficult to discern their content.

However, Ying Chan naturally knew its purpose. He gently placed it on his forehead, and his thoughts probed into it. Immediately, a long text appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

After reading it for a moment, he put down the white jade, his eyes filled with even greater surprise.

It turns out that the white jade contained all the key points and mysteries of the Twelve-Story Tower Method.

Having obtained this white jade, one should expound the Twelve-Story Tower Method of cultivation, and there will be no more obstacles to overcome!
